Guildford Open 2013

so many great dykes to compete with. But anyway here are mine.

2 hours to find dan's house from the train station and a wierd police man gave me a lift and tried to persuade me to join the police force...
Got there to find it was a sauna exclusively for cubers...
Met cool new people there.
Walked a retarded way back to mollerz house.
2x2x2 all nighter with mollerz...
Ironic because we both failed badly at 2x2x2 which was the first event.
I ate in the classic style of breandan vallance - plain bread.
Some guy called Sameer got 2x2x2 average world record.
After hanging out with me a bit he proclaimed that i was crazy :(
I was then abused in my sleep.
Failed bld and couldn't stop laughing while judging chris's. Had to get up and walk it off.
Got a bunch of pbs.
Rileys... she died...
breandan wasn't up for some fun with thom
we talked a lot about going clubbing then didnt
went to mollerz woke up him and walked into his grans by mistake, oops.
Kirstine is worse than ollie at team bld. But we got a 1:30 *with no cheating* ...she says.
Where's tim?!
callum acting like a peado stood up while everyone slept.
Couldnt stop laughing, again, had to go out the room and cube again.
Kirstine walk of shame in the morning.
lots of mcdonalds
lots of fails and good solves too
failed fmc as per but at least no dnf this time.
lots of good and not so good results again.
Alex a stones throw from wr again. Unlucky.
Howard is fast, and desimated dan's usual medal takings.
666 cutoff is a *****
breandan beat rob to protect us from all asian podium
guildford was possibly my favourite comp yet.

ty dan

Goals:
2x2: Hopefully sub-5, but I'll have to actually practise to get that. Sub-6 is more realistic for my current speed. Sub-3 single. Nope
3x3: Sub-25. The average was about a second slower than my normal average. I expected worse.
4x4: I don't really know what my average is... sub-1:45? Beat my PB Ao5 by 20 seconds and got just over 1:30 average.
OH: Sub-45. 43.36. Failed EO on the second solve; EOLine was complete somewhere between 45-50. The last solve went really well (CP recog was ~1s) and 1-looked the LL (Two diagonal twisted corners): sub-40 :)

Failed at 2x2 (two +2s and two sup-8s; the fastest solve was over half a second above average; missed next round by 0.4 seconds), but other than that I didn't do too badly. I didn't make any second rounds as expected.

This may sound strange, but does anyone now have a mini SS 7x7 that turns quite a bit better since Sunday? I only ask because now I have one which isn't tensioned all that well and the core is definitely not lubed ( which i did to mine ). Unless this is mine and im just going crazy.

I did lend mine to Daniel to compete with, but i may have taken back someone elses.

I assume you mean Daniel Salgado? I'm pretty sure I used mine and mine alone and still have mine here with me

If you are talking about me, your opinion seems misguided. Mine is awesome
